Banana heart

It’s time for another MFT sketch on the boards at splitcoast. I knew I wanted to use my “It’s a jungle out there” set this time and I had a fun idea for it, to make a banana shaped heart! At first I wasnt sure it looked enough like a heart but then Ava said “Oooh, a banana heart!” and then Sean said “Cool, the banana’s are a heart”. So I hope you all see the heart as well!

Instructions:

1. Starting with a piece of close to cocoa CS cut and folded to standard size, I then stamped the safari hat in cocoa ink.
2. I cut two pieces of ribbon and adhered them to the cardfront with some snail adhesive.
3. Then I cut a piece of white CS to 3×2 and stamped the banana with palette noir ink into a heart shape. I colored in the banana with barely banana, so saffron and summer sun SU markers.
4. Next I inked up only the “banana’s” and stamped it in the middle of the heart. Then after cleaning the stamp, I inked up the “about you” and placed it under the  word “banana’s”. Both in palette noir ink.
5. I layered that onto a piece of so saffron CS that was 3 1/4 x 2 1/4 and distressed around the edges. This was placed on the card with dimensionals.
6. Then I cut a piece of white CS 2×2 and stamped the monkey and banana in palette noir ink, coloring him with close to cocoa, creamy caramel and cameo coral, and the above mentioned banana colors in  SU markers.
7. I then created the scene around him using the grasses and foliage in certainly celery, old olive and always artichoke. Then I grounded him with a blend of copics and colored a sky for him.
8. Sir monkey was matted onto so saffron CS that was cut to 2 1/4 squared and the edges were also distressed. And adhered it with dimensionals.
9. Finally, I placed 5 saffron eyelets to the top left corner with my trusty crop a dile.

And there you have my fun little monkey pants! I love this set and in case your wondering, no I havent chose what to do for Audrey’s birthday announcements.  I just cant even figure it out what to do for her and what to do with the cards. Im trying to make it easy on myself, but that just isnt my style….being easy on myself. Hopefully I can get inspired SOON!
